Several people asked me to compile a list of the recommendations I received for my query regarding yard work. Here's the list: 1) This first one got 3 recommendations: My name is Chris Brenenborg, and I've worked as a landscaper/gardener for 7 years. I am very knowledgeable when it comes to native perennials, shrubs, and trees, and I have designed a number of gardens and landscaping plans in the Squirrel Hill and Shadyside neighborhoods, as well as here in Highland Park. I'm proficient in all aspects of landscaping and bring years of experience to your property. My prices are very reasonable and the work is of the highest quality. References provided upon request.
